I really liked this book. I enjoyed JP and Taylor together. The sparks just flew off both of them whenever they were together, even when JP, especially, was trying to be on his best behavior. I was sure that I would like this story but it exceeded my expectations. I liked JP and his mouth. Taylor and her love for her dog. What’s not to like? A book about hockey, family, and a bad boy, not much better than that!

I received an advanced copy this book from Net Galley for an honest review, thanks Net Galley! This is the first book I’ve read by Kelly Jamieson & I really enjoyed it! I liked JP & Taylor even though Taylor annoyed me a little in the beginning of the book. I also liked the supporting characters & look forward to reading more of her books & this series. I thought this was a wonderful book & highly recommend it but a note to the author for more of an epilogue.

I've enjoyed every hockey novel that Kelly Jamieson has penned for us, and In It to Win It was no different!

We first met JP Wynn in the first book in this series and to say he's on the outs with his family due to the fact he was with his brother's girlfriend is an understatement. There is no doubt that JP has flaws, just like anyone does, but he recognizes it and it doing is level best to be a better person. Whenever he makes a mistake he can't let it go and he's constantly beating himself up which doesn't help him in the least.

Taylor Hart is the best friend of Lacey, who we also met in book one. Taylor has always had a thing for hockey players, enough that she's dated them in the past, and that hasn't changed. When Taylor and JP connect at the wedding, they CONNECT and the sparks are immediate and explosive. When Taylor realizes she can use that chemistry to her advantage to make the man that left her jealous, she does so without a second thought. Well, at least a second thought at the time.

There is no doubt that the chemistry and connection between Taylor and JP is immediate and enduring. They do have to deal with quite a bit of drama, but that is generally a staple with families and relationships! We do get a look at the Wynn family from JP's perspective and the one thing I liked was how he always focused on his step-mother and including her when much of the rest of the family doesn't. I think that shows what type of man he really is.

I enjoyed this one and am definitely looking forward to the next one in the series.

3.5 stars
I like this series, but I preferred book one to this one. I thought JP Wynn was going to have have a much crazier plot than it was.

I loved this book. JP seems to always do the wrong thing but there more to his actions than others realize. He meets Emma at his brothers wedding and they have instant chemistry. However he is a gentleman and steps aside when he thinks she has a boyfriend. JP goes through a journey of self discovery with the help of Emma. This book has lots emotions, steamy romance and a hot hockey player. You have to keep reading to see if Emma and JP are going to get together or just be friends.

Yea! So excited to get JP’s story. Jean Paul is the brother who always takes the fall, blaming himself, the last time was when he “stole” his brothers girlfriend. After getting his brother to understand what truly happened, JP resolves to be a better man and brother, especially after meeting Taylor. He can’t help but be attracted to her and Taylor feels the same, right? Poor JP can’t seem to shake that bad boy reputation causing more trouble.
Between miscommunication, hard feelings, and an attraction to each other, In It To Win It has a lot going for it. I love Kelly’s books and this one is no exception.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

So this is book 2 in this new hockey series. It is about JP and Taylor. JP is Theo’s brother and Taylor is Lacey’s friend. (Book 1) They meet at Theo’s and Lacey’s (Second) wedding, have sex, dance and then it ends with JP getting into a fight with her ex and her running away. Poor JP thinks he made another mistake and Taylor blames herself for trying to make her ex jealous.

Great characters!
Fun world!
Loved the dog!

I greatly enjoyed this one. I felt it started off slow, but then it took off and I couldn’t put it down. I read the entire book in a day.

Great story, This Wynn brothers are hot in and out of the Ice ring. JP and Taylor are having fun, But life make funny things, like put your family upside down. For Taylor and JP family is everything but family can break your heart.
JP and Taylor find love in a fun way, and they help one another to find love.
I received a ARC from Netgalley for a honest review. I enjoy reading this book and recommend it.

There was a lot to love about this book - but most of it happened in the second half of the book!! I would classify this as a new-adult romance. I'm not sure if that was Kelly Jamieson's intention or not - but the characters in this book (as with the last one) seem very young. Maybe that means I'm getting old!

I really loved JP - but he definitely needed some quality therapy. As did Taylor. The main issue I had with the first part of the book was a real dislike for Taylor. Throughout the book she is described by others as being sweet and lovable and good - but she was really not nice to JP. Basically taking out her own issues on him and then being upset that he isn't falling all over himself to be nice to her. Her actions at the start of the book are pretty immature. Particularly her response to a major life change - <spoiler> her parent's divorce and her mother's subsequent revelation that she is bisexual and living with a woman (understandably a shock that is handled pretty realistically </spoiler> The thing that saves it - is the growth she shows and the growth JP shows. Although, JP ends up taking things a little to far in the opposite direction.

This book is really about personal growth - and learning to accept yourself and others for who they are. Its very much about making mistakes and learning from them. I liked the development of the characters - but I think Taylor in particular maybe needed some refinement and depth - she truly came across as more self-centered and naive than sweet and loving - at least where JP was concerned.

No matter what- I love Kelly Jamieson's writing and will keep on reading! I'm looking forward to finidng out more about the rest of the family!

JP is a hot hockey player that meets sweet Taylor at a wedding and the chemistry/sparks between them ignite from there. After spending a hot and steamy night together they have many obstacles in their way in order to be together. This is a great read for those who like steamy/romance, fit/sexy male characters and some sports thrown in. Highly suggest reading. ☆☆☆☆☆

I loved this book. It kept me engaged from page one to the end. It was sexy, funny, and full of drama. The main characters JP and Taylor are strong likable characters. This is the second book in this series and can't wait to read the next one. This book can be read as a stand alone. I would recommend this book.

I received an advance copy from NetGalley for my honest review.

This book deserves a big glowing review from me...But I'm sorry, I just don't have the time with real life getting in the way...so I'll make it short and sweet.

I loved it from the get-go! The hero--bad boy hockey player and black sheep of the family, JP Wynn ( the one who did his brother Theo wrong in the first book and is continually paying for it), hooks up with Taylor (bf of Lacey from the first book) at a wedding...And it was hawt! Chemistry galore. But then her ex shows up at the wedding, and uh-oh, did he just steal another man's girlfriend--AGAIN? This goes against everything JP vowed to avoid--no more emotional/bad decisions. It's time to straighten out your life and be responsible for once.

I won't go on. JP and Taylor were made for each other, so I urge everyone to take the time and invest in their story. It was all consuming for me. So hot. Such a redemption for JP. So Taylor got on my nerves a bit a few times...it didn't matter in the end. I loved their story and loved them. If only there was more of an epilogue (sigh)...
Maybe there will be an update in the next book...

The beautiful, romantic and quirky story of JP and Taylor was so touching.
Plenty of heat and angst. Warm and wonderful resolution. I didn't want it to ever end.

This is the second book of the series and it picks up pretty close to where the first book ended. This is JP's story. He is Theo's brother and the current black sheep of the family. Bad choices in his personal and professional life have left him trying to straighten out and do better.

The book follows his relationship with Taylor. She is friends and neighbors with his brother and sister-in-law. Super hot chemistry between these two. A little bit of hockey, a little bit of angst, and great puppers--but that is about it. Super sweet romance. Once they get over a few communication bumps, JP and Taylor are good as gold.

Easy read. Not as great as the first book but still lots of Wynn family to get through before we hang up our hockey skates. Looking forward to the next book.

I really like this author and have read several of her books. This one began with our heroine falling into bed with the sexy hockey stud. And although I generally do not like this type of beginning, the story quickly moved in a direction that made me like and care about this couple. I enjoyed learning that JP had big heart and that there were depths to his personality--he wasn't the superficial "player" everyone thought him to be.

I did find Taylor's parent situation a bit strange and unbelievable--mainly that she was given a day's notice before things were put into motion. Other than this, I enjoyed the book and look forward to others in this series.

I love a good sports romance, but this one just didn't work for me. JP and Taylor meet at a wedding and sparks fly immediately, until her ex starts a fight with JP in the middle of the dance floor. After that, JP tries to focus on the hockey season and Taylor casually dates a few other guys in an attempt to forget about him. They try out the friends thing for a while, but you know it's only a matter of time before they get back together and live happily ever after.

My issue here was that it was all trying too hard. The characters didn't feel authentic, and the love scenes were kind of over the top with their descriptions. JP's voice, in particular, was like a stereotypical jock which didn't fit at all with the "heart of gold" thing that we were supposed to believe was the real him.

The real hero of this book was Byron the dog. He was the truest and most genuine part of the story. I'd read more of this series if the people were given the same depth as the pets!

4.5 Stars!

When I read the first book in the Wynn Hockey series, there were two things I wasn't impressed with: JP Wynn and the big Wynn family tree I had to learn. I'm happy to say both of those issues were resolved in In It to Win It.

In It to Win It is JP's book. JP wasn't the jerk I wasn't expecting him to be after getting to know him in book 1 as the guy who stole his brother's girl. He was just a guy who made some poor decisions. I loved how this book had him examining his actions and trying to do better. I loved how he actively worked on making his relationship with his brother better. I also liked his choice in women.

Taylor as JP's love interest was a surprise to me. Last I knew she was into Manny. I had been pulling for her and Manny, so I wasn't sure I would buy into a relationship between her and JP. She was just too nice. Once I started this book, I totally got her reasons for hooking up with JP. Taylor and her motives were so easy to relate to. I also found myself a fan of their chemistry and relationship. I loved how it grew -- even when it was filled with so much up and down drama that sometimes I felt like I was getting whiplash.

As for the crazy Wynn family tree, now that I knew what was going on with them, it took less explaining and time away from the story. I loved seeing bits and pieces of the family. They became more endearing. I can't wait to see how some of those relationships work out and the single family members find love.

Overall, In It to Win It was another fun contemporary hockey romance by Kelly Jamieson. I would recommend it to sports romance lovers.

I am a huge fan of Kelly Jamieson. This book is the second in the series and I read the first a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The h is Taylor and she is a well rounded, strong female lead. I love her. JP, the H, is harder to love. I like him, but he has too many insecurities that really are emotionally debilitating to him. While this book is very good, I feel JP needs a lot more work on himself to overcome his insecurities and I hope the next books cover his journey in addition to the new H and h.

I do recommend this book and cannot wait to read the next one. 4.5 stars.

Love, love, love Kelly Jamieson and this book was no different. I feel so blessed to get to read this ARC and hopefully more in the future. The first book in this series was great, this book was great and the next one will likely be the same.

KJ is one of the very few authors who have gotten me to try out the hockey books, again, I'm not disappointed, but learning more about a sport foreign to me. The author puts enough about the sport that you are learning the importance of certain things and emphasizes the dedication required, but there is still a very big story going on off the ice so that it is thoroughly enjoyable even if you aren't a sports fan at all.

You can't go wrong with this book if you enjoy romance with a sports background and you don't need to read the first book in order to appreciate this one. Well done and worth a credit or paid read!!
